Definitions

  • the present application relates generally to the display of graphics and text, and more specifically to systems and methods to enable the display of scanned images while preserving the layout format of the scanned images.
  • Tiling methods or the like may be used for displaying large graphics files, such as, for example, digital maps. Tiling is a technique that involves breaking up data for such large graphics files into smaller segments of data that can be loaded as needed, rather than have the computing device attempt to load one large file in order to view the graphics file. For example, tiling may be used to produce tiles that correspond to the original high resolution version of the graphics file at different levels of magnification.
  • a tile of a graphics file that is 250 pixels by 250 pixels at maximum resolution may be displayed as a tile that is 125 pixels by 125 pixels at 50 percent magnification, thereby enabling more of the graphics file to be viewed from the computer screen.

Accordingly, there is a need for an improved technique for displaying scanned information that preserves the relative association or spacing of the components images that make up the scanned information.
  • the technique may involve creating at least one association of a given scanned image relative to one or more of the other scanned images of the document.
